Mojang Studios just dropped the latest re-release for 1.19.1. If things go smoothly we can expect this to release next Tuesday the 28th.
For those worried about the Chat Report system that was newly added Mojang Studios will be releasing a help article soon that will explain it a bit more, so maybe hold off on the doom posting for a tad bit longer.

Not too fond of this new, universal ban system that Mojang’s been putting in place for Minecraft. I think it’s best they prioritize the creation of new moderation tools, and options for censorship rather than having an AI decide for them. Here’s hoping the player feedback will drive them to reconsider.
I can't believe I can't meme around on a private server without having to worry about a permanent ban from online Minecraft.
This is objectively the worst change yet.
The reporting feature should be per-server and not get you banned universally (except Realms as that's a service)
Mojang is only hurting their own sales by putting in a feature that puts people on edge instead of letting them relax.
That said, this is not the place to complain - they never read here. Take it to r/suggestions or the feedback site.
Unfortunately I think you're wrong, they will continue to bring in sales because if I had to guess, the players this affects most are the existing ones. If anything, moving towards making the game more kid-friendly will make it better-liked by parents.
Stop playing big brother and implementing a universal ban/report feature, ESPECIALLY ON PRIVATE SERVERS. Leave the responsibility on the server hosts and get out of our business. Legit the first feature I have seen that is actually super unnecessary and actually hurts the fanbase.
MIcrosoft has been ruining the game since since they bought it from mojang. Can't those blind IDIOTS see that the report system they're trying to implement is ment for like FPS games? Like i dunno Valorant or maybe even Forza but not for a sandbox game which is mainly run by the community and they can't just poke their nose into private servers? A kid can report you for false information because you said that you were someone famous and they believed it and you can get PERM BANNED FROM MULTIPLAYER? IF they want to do something like that it needs to be rethinked and re done with more context and privacy for servers. I mean adults CAN swear if they want to, so WHY WOULD YOU PERM BAN FOR SWEARING ON A PRIVATE SURVIVAL SERVER??? Seriously Microsoft?
